This Christmas I tried and failed to find a little audio system for our
master bedroom that looks great, sounds great and ideally can also play
DVD's. Before I started looking I would've thought that a system that
does what I'm looking for would be fairly common, but I guess it's not.

My budget was about $200, and I was looking for at least something that
could do this:
- Shelf-type system, smallish (no more than 12" deep)
- Classy looking: wood frame if possible, no "alien plastic" looking
stuff
- AM/FM radio
- Clock and Alarm clock
- CD player (also can play MP3 CD's)
- USB flash drive input

These would be pluses but aren't deal killers:
- DVD player (w/ video out)
- Detachable L/R speakers
- Separate sub or audio out f/ sub
- iPod or audio input
- Casette deck
- No blindingly bright blue LED's; red LED's and an orange/red
display would be great

Does anyone know of a system like this? Of the 6 "must have's" I could
usually find systems that had any 4 or 5 of them, but not all. Lots of
mini shelf systems lack a basic alarm clock! The USB drive seems to be
the rarest item on the list, though I would think that it should be
much more common than it is. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd
sure appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Dan.
